Gluten-Free Beef & Potato Calzones From Scratch

Be the first to rate this recipe.

Here is a delicious recipe that I have been working on this weekend. I always wanted to create gluten-free calzones from scratch that were simple enough for anyone to make. Calzone is an Italian oven-baked folded pizza with various fillings. Because I love mint and have so much of it in my garden, I wanted to create a recipe where I include fresh mint. So I combined a little Moroccan flavour with Italian calzones and came up with this mouthwatering beef and potato recipe. The beautiful part is that you can use any filling like feta and spinach to anything that you would top a pizza with.

Calzones are best eaten when fresh, but if you have leftovers, pop them in an oven or toaster to re-heat. For step by step instructions click here ->

Instructions

DOUGH - Step by step instructions

In a large bowl combine flour, yeast, baking powder, xanthan gum and salt

Using an electric mixer at medium speed, slowly add wet mixture into dry ingredients until a dough forms. Scraping sides as needed. About a minute

Cover with a cling wrap and place in a warm place to rise for about for 45 minutes

FILLING

In a medium saucepan sauté onions in olive oil over medium heat until soft, about 3 minutes

Add beef and stir-fry until no longer pink. About 3 minutes

Stir in potatoes and season with cumin, salt and pepper. Stir-fry for about 2 minutes, reduce heat to low and cover. Cook for 5 more minutes or until the potatoes are tender

Remove from the heat and stir in fresh mint. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Set aside to cool

CALZONE

Using a large spoon scoop out some dough, dust with flour and roll into a ball. Place on a floured surface and either roll into a 5-inch circle or using your fingers press into a circle. Add about a tablespoon of filling on half of the circle, then take the top half of the dough and fold it over the filling. Lightly press on top to slightly flatten them, then crimp the edges of the dough to seal and trim off any excess dough. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. At this point you can place them in the fridge overnight or until ready to cook.

When ready to cook preheat oven to 400 F. Brush the calzones with melted butter and bake for 20 - 25 minutes until lightly golden

Note: these are small calzones, but you can make them any size you wish
